There are 12 face cards in a deck of 52 cards. This means there are 40 non-face cards in a deck of 52 cards.

(Ways to choose 6 face cards * Ways to choose 1 non-face card) DIVIDED BY (Ways to choose 7 cards)

(12C6 * 40C1)/52C7

*
-------------------


= (924 * 40)/133784560

= 36960/133784560

= 0.00028
